Leaders of the conservative group Moms for Liberty are behind a new charter school in Charleston. AdvertisementSome leaders of Moms for Liberty, the conservative group that has pushed for "parental rights" in schools nationwide, are behind the opening of a new charter school. Tara Wood, the chair of Charleston's Moms for Liberty chapter and a member of the new charter school's board, told Business Insider in a statement that "Ashley River Classical Academy is not a Moms for Liberty school." "We are simply trying to protect our children from sexually explicit books," the group's Charleston chapter says on its website. Asked about the curriculum, Wood said: "What is so 'controversial' about the year our country was founded?"

Trinidad Gonzales, a professor of history and Mexican American studies at South Texas College, has been honored with the 2022 John Lewis Award for History and Social Justice. Refusing to Forget's work spurred an award-winning exhibit at the Bullock Texas State History Museum in Austin — the first time the state had publicly addressed "La Matanza." He played a role in a five-year battle to help change state standards for high school Mexican American history classes. “We all knew internally that it wasn’t just simply a fight for Mexican American studies,” Gonzales told South Texas College. "We're fearful that they're going to try to eliminate Mexican American studies, African American Studies, Indigenous Studies and Asian American studies," Gonzales said in the interview.
